Trial Outcomes & Findings for SIB-Time Web-application Tool for Typically Developing Siblings (NCT NCT04633473)

NCT ID: NCT04633473

Last Updated: 2024-07-05

Results Overview

The Parenting \& Family Adjustment Scales (PAFAS; Sanders et al., 2014) Parent/Child Relationship subscale measures the quality of the parent-child relationship, asking how true various statements have been over the past 4 weeks. The Parent/Child Relationship subscale is measured with 5 items, answered on a 5-point scale (0=Not at all; 4=Very much). Average scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating worse outcomes.

Participant Flow

Participants were parents who were enrolled between 6/9/21 and 3/30/22. Participants were recruited through Advisory Board contacts, and social media.

Participants were parents who were enrolled in the study. Parents completed study measures. Parents engaged in activities with their child, but children were not enrolled and no data were collected from children.

SIBTime
43 primary parents were assessed at enrollment, then provided the dual-language, media-enhanced SIBTime technology for 4 weeks, and then re-assessed at 4 weeks (after treatment completion). SIB-Time Web-Application Tool: Parents used the dual-language SIBTime app with their children. They watched video stories about common sibling experiences, responded to question prompts, tracked connection routines, and listened to guided ACT exercises for parents. During the 4-week intervention period, they used the app at their convenience.

Population: Primary parents of a child with a disability and a preschool age typically developing child.

The Parenting \& Family Adjustment Scales (PAFAS; Sanders et al., 2014) measures change in parenting practices, family cohesion, parent-child relationship quality, and parents' stress. The 30 items on the PAFAS sort into 7 subscales: Parental consistency, Coercive parenting, Positive encouragement, Parent-child relationship, Parental adjustment/stress, Family relationships, and Parental teamwork with partner. Items are rated on a 5-point scale (0-4) with higher scores worse.

Population: Primary parents of a child with a disability and a preschool age typically developing child.

The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a commonly used 10-item measure (with a 5-point scale) of subjective perceptions of technology usability. To calculate the total SUS score, the responses to all 10 SUS questions are re-scaled and/or re-scored in a way that all items had values from zero to 4 with 4 being the most positive. These converted scores are added and then multiplied by 2.5 to convert the range of possible values 0-100 (instead of from 0 to 40). Higher scores are better.
